    5 or 7-Gallon Bucket Mess Kit

    You caulk after snapping on lid or both before and after?

    5 or 7-Gallon Bucket Mess Kit

    Oh nice! I have few of those seabags floating around from my time in. Will more than the 4 and 5-gallon fit inside or is that max.? Is the one without the lid for gathering water and etc.? It appears to be stacked around the other green one.

    5 or 7-Gallon Bucket Mess Kit

    I have a 7-gallon bucket with Gamma Lid and GSI Bugaboo kit. I robbed the large pot, lid, handle, two plates (me and partner) and frying pan, leaving the rest at home. It nestles down inside nicely with a flexible cutting board on the side. In addition to the food, I have the cooking...

    Paddling Belt

    Nice. I see these guys on videos portaging with barrel harness and drypacks with 'stuff' dangling in every location and direction. I haven't done any extensive trips, but it seems like a sure way to lose essential gear and annoy the heck out of you. I was trained to have everything silent for...

    Paddling Belt

    I finished the book, Canoe Trip. He talks about wearing a belt for keeping survival gear on/in. Perhaps this idea came prior to fishing/rescue PFDs, but I like the idea. Does anyone still do this or just jam everything into their pockets and PFD? I don't work for Kifaru, but I do have a...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks, Barry. The center stock seat is about 16" behind center to the leading edge. I found a guy that has the same boat that he only has one seat in to see how he is rigged, but his is closer to center than mine. I have only paddled it tandem and solo (from the center seat). I will have to...

    What am I doing wrong?

    I bought a three seat Penobscot 16. Seats are stock. It doesn’t seem like a super simple paddling event. Perhaps going from tandem rear to solo center is a different altogether. While lightly loaded, moving my small tackle box from behind me to my feet is wildly different in trim. Is this...

    Sometimes I just want to paddle an OT Tripper

    I got mine new like 5 years ago. Was a find! Mine didn’t come with paddles. What will you do with them?

    Sometimes I just want to paddle an OT Tripper

    Good morning. I sent this to lowangle al. I thought it might be better to ask all of you. Can you please tell me the location of your Trippers' seats relative to the center point or from each end or one end? Whichever is easiest for you. I have one that I am trying to get the seats right in...
